Vlad

Vlad smiles he can see through Aurelio's attack. Vlad pushes his foot into the wall and then takes off toward Aurelio. Vlad then jumps into the air, he uses the wind from the sword swing to turn himself, Vlad slips past the blade and then he sticks out his knee and hits Aurelio in the chin. Vlad then lands on the ground and says " your attacks are massive, their powerful and slow. with that combination. me being your opponent is your worst nightmare." Vlad pulls his right arm back and says " This fight is over." Vlad makes his hand into a fist and hits Aurelio in the stomach, He then pulls his fist from Aurelio and then claps his hands together, he pulls both of his arms back with his palms open. Vlad then strikes Aurelio with both of his palms in the spot he hit him. Vlad knew that would only cause a little pain, he didn't want to kill someone who wasn't truly his enemy. Vlad then lays out on the ground, he says to Aurelio " you know there is no shame in losing, because when you lose that means you have someone you wish to beat one day. So that way you and that person can get stronger and fight again." Vlad smiles at the sky.

Kazu

Ronald charges at Kazu, Kazu dodges the attack and then kicks Ronald in the stomach, Ronald smiles and grabs Kazu's leg, he throws Kazu into the wall and then punches him in the stomach. Kazu exhales and then coughs, He punches Ronald in the face and then keeps punching him. Kazu keeps punching him until Ronald falls to the ground. Kazu looks at his bloody hands and then sits on the ground. He closes his eyes and says " I'm sorry, but I had to do what was necessary to save my mother." When Kazu opens his eyes he sees Ronald grab his war scythe and charge at him. Kazu throws his Chakram at Ronald and then blocks himself with his arms. Kazu then hears a loud thump on the ground and then he opens his eyes to see Ronald on the ground bleeding. Kazu backs away from him and realizes he has killed the man. Kazu places his bloody hand on his face and starts to cry, he never wanted to kill anyone. He never wanted anything like this to happen. Kazu wipes his faces with his shirt and then gets up. He flips Ronald over and grabs the key from around his neck. Kazu walks over to the door and then puts the key in the slot. Kazu shakes his head and then sits down and leans on the door. Kazu then thinks about the others and wonders if they might need help. But he is scared of what might happen if he fights and kills someone else.

KatsuV.Ralph
Katsu speeding toward Ralph with a manic grin on his face as he slashed about 10 feet away from him and he cut 3 trip wires and caused a chain reaction of electricity to explode around him. Ralph just staring at him wondering if he was now suicidal from getting shocked to much but then he stepped back as he saw Katsu was no where near getting effected by the shocks anymore. Spinning his Reverse blade around himself conducting the electricity into it then grasping it tightly on it's hilt he smirked staring directly into Ralph's eyes. "I finally see why I was trusted with this blade....heh to bad you isn't it?" He said as he started to run toward Ralph once more but this time throwing his katana towards the ground then jumping as he just barely got over a trip wire. Once he landed he reached back and pulled the blade up over his head, the electricity now starting to flow out of it now. "I don't have much time to stay like this no doubt, so i'll end our little match here...." He said as he slashed down with the blade crashing into the ground as the electricity that was being stored in the blade is freed and sent flying in a wave like motion at Ralph who was now trying to run away from it looking back as he heard this. "Your crazy kid if you let that attack go as it is, it will trip all of the wires!!!" Ralph said while running but had to stop short because a wall was in his way so he turned around and braced for impact. Katsu sighed as just a few minutes ago he was being called wimpy by Ralph so he had to pity him now so he ran towards him with all his speed while spinning his Reverse blade then slide beside the wave of electricity that was going for Ralph, underneath the trip wires that would soon activate and explode. Then stopped and jumped back onto his feet and kept his blade spinning preparing to defend himself and Ralph as the wave of electricity made contact with the trip wires and an enormous amount of electricity exploded from around the arena causing a large tremor to follow.

Aurelio
Aurelio drops his broadsword beside him then falls to his knees utterly defeated by Vlad because what he said was true about him having power but not the speed to back it up. "This....This can't be possible.....I can't lose" He says as he continues to look at the ground now coughing up a bit of blood from the last attack to his stomach. "I can't afford to lose to anyone..." He says as he staggers back to his feet almost falling down since his body wasn't used to the weight of the weapons just yet. Now staring at Vlad he walks toward him then gets within his attack range then throws a punch directly at his face but stops before he makes contact, the air from it only making his hair blow. "Your strong aren't you?.....I need your help.." He looks at Vlad no longer with his intent to kill let alone hurt anyone. "Please.....Im just not strong enough to take him on and he has....I- Ill do anything please just you need to rescue her!" Aurelio shouts in a non aggressive way but it could be seen that he was now angry.

"HAHAHAHAHA!!!!" Andrew laughed when he heard Franchi's explanation of his trick. "3 attacks; as if old man!" "I'm 25, you ungrateful brat!!" Franchi yelled at him. "You may have been able to discover my trick, but your method of stopping it is way too simple. Now watch as I take it up a notch!" Andrew then threw his spear towards Franchi at great speed with a spin, but he was able to dodge it. This is taking it up a notch? He thought to himself. But as he thought that, Andrew ran forward and jumped on the spear. He then used his legs to turn the spear and get Franchi across the torso.
"Satisfied now?" Andrew asked. "This is the amazingly invincible Spear Surfing Style; exclusive to the one and only Andrew of the Night Hawk Gang!"

Vlad

Vlad laughs he looks at Aurelio and says " you were just going to kill me now you need my help, you know what I will help you. But i will only help you help yourself. By that i mean I'm going to help you take on whoever has that person your trying to save. I will not do it for you, this way I know I wont be being used. also if you want my help I have something I'm going to need from you, I'm going to need you to join my team you get a free place to stay and food. so what do you say do we have a deal?" Vlad stood up and looked at Aurelio, he knew this guy was strong and with him in the Esposito taking down Vongola would be that much easier.

Van makes the first move going all out from the beginning, now knowing that Roxdera isnt an oppenent he can beat easily. He runs full speed at Roxdera firing endless bullets at the young warrior. Roxdera away in a zig zag pattern, dodging the bullets. But one bullet grazes his left leg, so he turns around and starts to fire back. They both run in circles around each other firing rounds after rounds. Van then charges at Roxdera catching him by surprise and knee's him in the stomach, smirking.
Roxdera holds his stomach tight looking up at Van.

"You dirty little.."

Van interupts Roxdera my pistol whipping him in the face to the ground. Roxdera hits the ground hard, his mouth bleeding and one of his ribs dislocated. He lays on the ground in agony when Van starts to kick him.

"Ha! Whats wrong Vongola warrior?! No more tricks up your sleeve?! I thought you were promising at first but this is pathetic! HAhahaahaha! Is this all the Vongola have to offer?!"

Roxdera suddenly side sweep kicks Van, making him stumble but he just regains his balance and back flips away from Roxdera to gain some space in between them. Roxdera slowly gets up spiting blood out his mouth and points his gun at Van, his hand shaking.

"For the last time..I AM NOT A VONGOLA WARRIOR!!!!! I'm Roxdera Hayato, Esposito Family's Storm Flame Guardian, son of the infamous Gokudera Hayato! And this is my trump card that u wanted so bad!"[/u]

"wait....THE Gokudera Hayato?! Your his son!? Im gunna enjoy killing you and getting the title of-"

Roxdera interupts him by shooting a normal bullet at him. But it doesnt stop there. Gokudera whispers another word as he fires a second bullet.

"Propagation!"

Roxdera fires off a Cloud flame bullet that hits the previous bullet he fired. The bullet's then multiply making hundreds of bullets at once all heading for Van. Van was about to backflip dodge again but he was pinned to a wall, all according to Roxdera's plan. Van protects himself from some of the bullets by cross arm blocking with his dual pistols. multiply bullets still his his in various places wounding him. All the other bullets hit the ground around Van causing a dust cloud to surround him. When the cloud disappears Van looks up ready to continue fighting. Then he looks down in amazement as Roxdera is crouching down in fron of him with his Revolver flipped upside down, knife up.

"Slice!"

Roxdera does an upwards slice with his Revolver, cutting Van deep across the chest.

Wh-what the hell is this guy? Franchi thought to himself. He's moving his spear through the air as if he's surfing out at sea! Maybe I can- But right before he finished his thought, Andrew initiated his Spear Surfing Style again and knocked Franchi's head back with the butt of his weapon.
"What'd I say about spacing out, old man?" Andrew asked him. But right then, Franchi kicked him off, grabbed his lance, and slashed him across the torso. "That's 2, punk!" Franchi yelled, coughing up a little blood. But as he wiped it off, Andrew threw his lance in a spin in a circle before jumping on it and curving it towards Franchi. Him, on the other hand, barely put up a block.
"Not good enough!" Andrew yelled at him. He then twisted his body and created a spinning motion with his spear that broke Franchi's guard and got him all around the torso, causing him to collapse!
"I call that one my Whirlpool Slash." Andrew said to Franchi's collapsed body. "That was pretty boring actually; maybe the rest of those weak Espositos will be more fun!" But as Andrew moved to leave the area, an arm, Franchi's arm, grabbed his leg!
"You can... call me old... stab my body until it's swiss cheese... even kill me. But..." Franchi said as he stood up and picked up his lance, "if you tarnish the good name of Esposito, you'll be the one to die!!!" He then made a ginormous slash across Andrew's torso again. "1 attack left!"

Cole rushed at dusk then took a sharp turn and threw his tomahawk into the wall and used it like a step ladder and pushed off into a back flip andnin mid air while faceing dusk pulled hid arm back " coup de grate: piercing rain" Cole yelled as he sent his arrowhead spiraling into dusks arm then pulling it back and landing. That blow permanately paralyzed your pointer, and middle finger on your left hand stoping you from fighting back, now for the finishing move" Cole said pulling his axe out of the wall. He rushes at the defenceless dusk and pulpy back his arm with the axe but before impact flips the axe to the handle and strikes dusk point blank on the temple sending him flying into the wall. Cole walks over to his unconcious body and takes the key from his pocket and removes the headband from his head ad puts it back in his shirt pocket. " to quote mukuro rukado you lost for one reason, because I was your opponent." Cole says cooly as he walks back to the central hub of pathways. As he reaches the hub he grabs his jacket and turns it into a sling for his impaled arm and heads over to give his key to kazu.

Riku VS Grey

The two combatants jumped away and circled each other. Riku spun his tonfa and Grau twirled his knife. Neither taking there eyes away fromt the other. Gray was trying to figure out a strategy, from that one clashing of there weapons. He could see that Riku was good and this fight would require his complete focus. Suddenly they both lunged forward. Riku swung and Gray slashed. There weapons clashed against the other as they searched for openings. Gray, dropped down did a sweep kick, but Riku saw through it and flipped back. Gray had anticipated this and hurled his knife. Riku raised a tonfa to block. Gray took advantage of this darted forward. Moving on Riku's blind side, he threw a quick punch. But to his suprise Riku crouched down, avoided his strike and delivered one of his own. Gray, taken by suprise, was caught in the stomache and knocked back. He landed on his back but flipped back to his feet, narrowly avoiding another of Riku's strikes

" This is one vicious kid " he thought as he kept moving. For the time being all he could do was keep moving and dodge. The flow of battle had fallen to Riku's side. Riku was in the moment and nothing else mattered. This herbivore was good, but not that good. He'd be bitten to death soon. Greys back hit the wall and Riku darted towards him like a speeding train. He smirked " Don't get to cocky " Bending his knees, he sprung up and over Riku. Landing, he reached back and grabbed the back of Riku's collar and used the momentum to toss the boy. Riku flipped through the air and landed on his feet. He caught a glint of steel on the side of his eye and Grays knife flashed. He raised his tonfa, but Gray was quicker. A light cut appeared across Riku's cheek.

" Just one of many to come. Know the strength of the Nighthawkes " he brought the blade to his lips and licked it. " Come "

Riku smirked " If this is the strength of the nighthawkes, I have to question how that herbivores mother was kidnapped in the first place " Gray narrowed his eyes and the two continued there fight. Heading to the center of the space to meet they halted before meet and aimed kicks at one another. There legs met and threw the other off balance. They whirled attacked. alternated between his knife and his feet, Riku countered him and tealiated. The two were a blurr as they moved faster and faster. Seeming equal. Gray glared, this boy would not back down and the fight was taking to long. A change in tactics was necessary. He halted and Riku immediately struck him, but Gray was ready. He grunted and reached out, grabbing hold of the tonfa, he pulled Riku close and smashed there heads together. Riku was knocked backwards onto the ground, his tonfa thrown to the side and Gray swayed. He grinned as blood trailed down his face. " Hmm, a headbutt to crack diamond " he turned to get his knife but suddenly something was wrapped around him...a chain? He whipped around. Riku was crouched down, his shirt open revealing a long silver chain wrapped around his upper body.

" Heh, compared to Hibari-Sama's headbutts, that was soft as a kittens " jumping back, he gave a great yank. Gray was dragged along. He fought to get back up, flipping up. Riku released him from the chain and switched to a different assault. Grey lunged for his knife. Aiming for it, but it was knocked away by Riku's chain. The boy lashed out with a barrage of chain whips and caught mid-air, there was nothing Gray could do. He yelled as they chains struck him all over the body. Collapsing in a heap, he lay on his back, Riku looming over him.

He sighed " Heh, done in by a brat, but a strong brat. You'll need this " he weakly reached into his pocket and handed over the key. " For the woman we captured "

Riku took the key " I have no need for such a thing, but if I give it to that herbivore, perhaps there others I can fight " he quickly ran from the room, leaving Gray to stare up at the ceiling.

" Haaa, why do I get the feeling...for that entire fight, he wasnt even remotely serious. If the Vongola have someone so strong on there side.... "

[[ REVIVIN' THIS RP NOW. ]]

When Naoko regained conciousness, she wasn't quite sure what had happened.

She was knelt down on the path, the stench of garbage and blood heavy in the air. She blinked several times, then glanced down.
Laterying before Naoko, in a pool of blood was the young woman who had challenged her. Several needles were stuck haphazardly in her torso, and there was an expression of surprise on her face.

It was then that Naoko's brain registered that the woman's head was lying a good two feet away from the rest of her body.

Blinking muzzily, Naoko rose to her feet. Ah, yes, that was right, she'd been fighting this woman. She two had been trading blows when the woman had laughed, and mocked her, saying that once Naoko was dead, she would kill everyone else, and maybe Naoko's parents as well--
The aftermath was a stubborn blank.

Naoko sighed and glanced down at her hands, noticing they were covered in blood. Almost instinctively, she raised her hand and licked some it off. It was strangely bittersweet and seemed to tingle like sherbert powder on her tongue.
She turned away from the woman she had killed and walked slowly back up the path.

Time to find Kazu.

"kazu hey kazu I won" Cole yelled to kazu while stumbleing twords him "here's one of the keyes" he said while offering the key to kazu smiling
